Family We have had to make some serious decisions on my daughter's hemangioma. I was not aware of any support networks or of any information on treatment besides what the doctor recommended. We went with what the doctor suggested a partial removal which would leave a scar. Now that we have switched to a new doctor and I have learned so much about the treatment of hemangiomas, we probably would have done things differently. I hope these pages help people from making a decision they may question later.The least I can do is educate you on what is available for treatment and offer you support.
